Bones flung as projectiles. Bone projectiles are extremely commonly thrown by Scary Skeletons. In most cases the launchers never run out of bones. This brings up the question whether the creature uses its own bones, the bones of others, or just bone-like things it somehow creates or summons. Usually Stock Femur Bones. A subtrope of Abnormal Ammo and Bad with the Bone. Compare Spike Shooter, Throwing Your Sword Always Works, and Improvised Weapon. |

X-Men: Marrow is typically more of a Bad with the Bone fighter, but she throws them from time to time as well. A very minor X-Men villain named Spyne also had the power to hurl regenerating bones from his skeleton. The Spike from X-Force has powers similar to Marrow, and sometimes grew large bone spears that he would then toss at enemies. Incidentally, he's black, and didn't much appreciate it when a teammate called him a "spearchucker" (even though that teammate was also black). |

Stalnox in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild can break off their rib bones and hurl them, though unlike most examples of the trope, they have a limited supply. You can also pull this off yourself using the dropped arms of Stal enemies and in the case of a Stalizalfos arm, it'll act as a fragile Precision-Guided Boomerang. | |

MythBusters tested teeth and bone bullets,note the episode first aired overseas two years before it finally aired in the U.S. both whether they would work at all and whether they would leave a pathologist wondering how the guy on the slab died. Busted: unshaped teeth are too inaccurate to hit the target, carving teeth to a bullet shape weakens them, and the pathologist had no trouble picking out the bone and teeth fragments. | |

The Diablo II Necromancer class can shoot Bone Spears and Teeth. In the Demon Hunter trailer for Diablo III, the Demon Hunter uses the tooth of a slain demon as an arrowhead for one of her bolts, which is the first to get loosed against the demonic horde that is after the only survivor of a village massacre. |

SCP Foundation SCP-154 is a pair of bracelets that creates an Energy Bow that uses the bones of the arm holding it as the arrows. The bones regenerate instantly, however multiple uses can cause mutations of varying severity. Plus, firing it hurts a lot since it doesn't protect you from the pain of having your bones ripped out and rapidly regrown. SCP-127 is an organic gun that fires humanlike teeth. |

In Afterbirth+, Isaac can find the Compound Fracture powerup that changes his tears into bones that break into 1-3 smaller shards upon contact. Also, the secret character from that expansion uses a bone as his main weapon, usually as a melee club but it can be charged up and thrown like a Precision-Guided Boomerang. | |

During the boss fight against Papyrus in Undertale, his attacks consist of throwing bones of all kinds at you. If you check out his house later you'll even see a box full of them. Makes sense considering he's an ambulatory skeleton. You'll face an even more dangerous version of Papyrus' bone attacks if you make the mistake of provoking Sans enough for him to actually put effort into stopping you. | |

Dungeons & Dragons has several examples: Early editions had a couple of magical bones usable as ranged weapons. When thrown at an opponent, the Bone of Bruising continuously attacked, doing minor damage and distracting the opponent. If the Bone of Turning was thrown at and hit an undead, it acted as a a turning attempt by a 15th level cleric/priest. The "red box" edition's Dungeon Master's guide mentioned a skeleton that shoots its fingers at you as an example of a customized monster. Module A4 In the Dungeons of the Slave Lords: The PCs could find a skull which could be thrown at opponents. Ravenloft: Archer skeletons fire bone arrows, which can transform into additional skeletons if they miss their targets. The original D&D Supplement I Greyhawk has skeletons that can hurl their finger joints as if they're magic arrows. The Third Edition incarnation of skull lords, three-headed skeletal mages, can both invert and play this trope straight. With their "bone beckon" attack, a skull lord can cause bone shards and fragments to fly out of a victim's body into the grasp of the skull lord, who can use them to heal itself or other undead. Alternatively, a skull lord can then fire the bone shards as a projectile weapon, and if shot at the same creature who "donated" them, the attack will automatically hit unless the victim is in cover. |

Crossbow bolts can be carved out of animal bone in Dwarf Fortress, which is about half-way between this trope and Abnormal Ammo. They're not much use against large wild animals or any humanoid wearing even the most rudimentary armour, barring a lucky hit, but they're a cheap and readily available source of practice ammunition. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Some varieties of Stalfos throw bones. Stalnox in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild can break off their rib bones and hurl them, though unlike most examples of the trope, they have a limited supply. You can also pull this off yourself using the dropped arms of Stal enemies and in the case of a Stalizalfos arm, it'll act as a fragile Precision-Guided Boomerang. In Hyrule Warriors The Stalchildren "archers" use bones as projectiles. |

In the MediEvil series, the first weapon that the protagonist, Sir Daniel Fortesque, has at his disposal is his own arm. It is pathetically weak, and should only be used in emergency situations (read: when you have absolutely nothing else), but he can use it as a bludgeon or, fitting this trope, as a boomerang. | |

Clive Barker's Undying has a spell (the game's equivalent of a rocket launcher) that pulls skulls out of the ground, charges them with magic and fires them when you release the button. The ammo is justified by the island having been a battleground for pretty much forever, "Not an inch of this ground where someone hasn't died." Doesn't explain how you can use it up on the roof of the mansion, though... | |

In Circle of the Moon, there is a spell that turns the hero into a frail bone-throwing skeleton. This form has little mobility and any hit kills you. However, there's also an average chance of throwing a huge bone that can kill even the bosses in one or two hits. | |

Warhammer: The Tomb Kings army has access to Screaming Skull Catapults (affectionately terms "Skull Chuckers" until around the turn of the millennium) — large trebuchets made from the bones of desert animals that fire flaming skulls at the foe. The background material says that Nagashizzar, the fortress of the Great Necromancer Nagash, is protected by gigantic bolt throwers whose ammunition is the sharpened femur-bones of giants. While these Bone Throwers haven’t appeared in the main game they were an option for the Undead army in the large-scale Gaiden Game Warmaster. |

Polyphonica: In one of the Light Novels, titled Inspector Black, Managa and Matia figure out that the book's victim was killed by a bullet made of bone. Skull bone, to be exact, to blend in with the resulting fragments from the headshot. And the perpetrator, after spilling his secret in a bar, is nailed by the scar on his scalp where the bone was harvested. Pretty ingenious, actually. | |

In The Pit and the Pendulum (1991), the executioner laughs at Esmeralda as he is preparing to burn her at the stake and she curses him: telling him that he will die at the same moment she does. However, when he lights the pyre, Esmeralda explodes (It Makes Sense in Context) and he dies: speared through the heart by a fragment of her bone hurled out by the explosion. | |

The roguelike Dungeon Crawl used to have a spell called Bone Shards that turned wielded skeletons into blasts of bone fragments. It's been removed now because the damage wasn't worth the trouble of getting and wielding a skeleton. You can still reduce skeletal enemies to shrapnel with the Lee's Rapid Deconstruction spell, which, while intended for rock or stone walls, works on any suitably brittle substance. |
